THE SHAUN SAYS THIS…

Each morning each of us are face with a lone yet immensely important choice based on a single question…

WHAT TYPE OF DAY AM I GOING TO HAVE TODAY?

Many of you may be looking at that question with the initial thought of all the many aspects that may effect the success of your day.  However The Shaun challenges the notion that the people and obstacles we experience throughout our day effect the overall outcome of it.

The Shaun believes it is our internally will to overcome these challenges (man-made or otherwise) and an strong positive attitude that determine the overall success we achieve each day. It is up to us to put ourselves in the right mindset to start our day on the right foot and maintain that positive attitude throughout the day…no matter what happens through. If you wake thinking the glass is half empty then you have failed yourself before your day as even started.

Each day that we are given is a blessing and it is up to us to appreciate as such! So this morning and every morning going forward, take a moment to put yourself in the right mindset for the day. If you start your day off GREAT, chances are it will remain that way.

The video above the collage of some of the better pre-game inspirational speeches in recent film. Think of your morning routine as your pre-game ritual and give yourself a speech each morning to prepare yourself for the game (day) ahead.

YOU MUST THINK OF YOURSELF AS A WINNER BEFORE YOU CAN WIN!!

The Shaun is always looking for new ways to amuse himself and stumbled upon howitshouldhaveended.com which contains a collection of videos of reenvisioned endings to movies and video games.

It at the very least is a great way to pass some time while bored at work.

The Shaun has been in the Internet Social Community for just under 3 years. Over the last few months, it has become clear that some people have the game totally twisted. So The Shaun felt it necessary to lay out some of his personal rules and guidelines to being his internet friend.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS MAINLY A COMICAL YET HONEST POKE AT SOME OF THE PAGES THE SHAUN HAS SEEN.

IN OTHER WORDS, DO TAKE THIS PERSONALLY.

1. Your page must have more on than just pics and slideshows on it.
   1. Just because your pic (which is probably fake) is cute, doesn’t mean I’m going to automatically add you.
   2. Your page is a reflection of yourself. If all you have on your page is a bunch of pics of you at the club or giving your best booty pose, it shows that all you are as a person is a pretty face.
2. Your page must load in under 30 seconds.
   1. If it takes more than 30 seconds to load your page within my DSL broadband connection which runs on a Intel Duo 4 Processor, I ain’t coming back to your page.
3. The Shaun’s icon is not a trading card.
   1. The Shaun will not just be a knick knack in your collection of internet friends. You can’t possibly be that damn cool with 5000+ people. The Shaun is not a fan or groupie.
4. You must at least “drop by” once a month
   1. The Shaun is not interested in hearing from your ass every 6 months or so when you log on 4 times a day. The Shaun does not sit by his PC waiting for you to comment on his page or shoot me a message.
   2. Remember…”To Know The Shaun is to Love The Shaun!” so show a brother some love.
5. Don’t have anything IGNORANT on your page.
   1. The latest BET booty clip does not interest The Shaun.
6. Stop taking all those damn quizzes
   1. The Shaun does not give a shit what Spice Girl you most represent or what flavor your coochie is. If I want to know, I’ll ask that brother in your top friends list who hits your page 8 times a day!
7. STOP INTERNET PIMPING!
   1. You always get caught and look like a damn fool in the end!
   2. If you have taken or married as your marital status, yet don’t even have your mate in your top friends, YOU AIN’T CRAP!
8. Do not put your nasty ass pics and/or messages next to a slideshow of your damn kids! That’s just wrong!
   1. AND THAT GOES DOUBLE FOR THE SHAUN’S KIDS, MS. SMITH! (I told you to move that shit!)
9. Don’t cross the boss!
   1. Yeah, this shyt over here…The Shaun runs this! Don’t start none, won’t be none!
10. Do not make your page so damn fancy that no one can read your posts!
11. Last but not least…
    1. One Music Player per page and it must have a freaking off switch!

So now that we have gotten all of that out of the way. We can all be friends! Please take a moment to click on of the buttons to follow The Shaun on Facebook or Twitter.

THANK YOU COME AGAIN!

YOU ONLY HAVE MINUTES TO LIVE

Let those words truly marinate in not only your mind but your heart and soul. You do not have enough time to even dwell on your impending death or even consider an option to change your inevitable fate. You are going to die in the next few minutes and there is nothing you can do about it.

All those things you said you were going to do aren’t going to happen.

All the family members you haven’t talked to years will never again hear your voice.

All the places you said you were going to go, you will never see.

All the goals you put off, will never be accomplished.

All the people you guarded your feeling from, will never know you loved them.

All your fears will never be overcome!

YOU ONLY HAVE SECONDS TO LIVE!

Now that you know you are going to die in the next few minutes. Does any of those material and technological things you cherish matter to you? Does the opinions and expectations of everyone you bent over backwards trying to impress even come into your mind?

What are you going to do with the final minutes of your life? Call you parents. Hug your kids. Pick up your bible and pray. What are you going to do now that you had all the time in the world to do before this moment?

YOU ONLY HAVE A MOMENT TO LIVE!

Stop living your life in a continuous mode of procrastination. Everything you want to do can be done right now if you are willing to make the appropriate adjustments to your life. Why do spend our entire life being scared to succeed…scared to love…SCARED TO LIVE?!!?

Be the person you have always wanted to be right now! Don’t wait another minute!

Who knows how many minutes we actually have left?

The Shaun tends to from time to time ponder possible alternative endings to the movies and games. Some of the best movies have surprisingly lame and improbable endings which frustrates The Shaun greatly. It like eating a big piece of cake just to find a rock inside of it for no particular reason whatsoever.

Well, luckily the team at How It Should Have Ended takes some of the endings to the biggest movies/games and present an alternate version of those endings. Some will remember the 300 ending The Shaun presented by this team awhile back so it seemed fitting to bring back their work with their take on the ending of “Captain America: The First Avenger”.
